Thank you though :) The d'Orsay is wonderful, but London's Wallace Collection is my favorite place/museum I think I've ever visited, the air in that place just holds magic for me. When the 18th century clocks go off chiming and your the only one in the room it might as well be time travel. I really enjoyed being able to experience London's galleries/museums just as you say, I need to move back, and next time to stay instead of just for a few months! <3Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-69786230625221080482017-06-09T20:45:18.370-06:002017-06-09T20:45:18.370-06:00Thank you Christina!Thank you Christina!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-54693951864288282552017-06-09T20:45:07.922-06:002017-06-09T20:45:07.922-06:00Thank you Mim!

But it can be exhausting. In London I know how to pop in and out of galleries and see what I feel like seeing. But when you're on holiday, you don't have that luxury. And in your case, you have the additional job of maintaining such a perfect look for your whole visit too!

Can't beat green - or several. <br /><br />I had no idea that there were so many non-paintings in the Orsay (having never been able to get in on any of my trips to Paris). One day I will see them! I'd always thought Art Nouveau was a bit florid till we went round the decorative arts museum (the one tacked onto the Louvre) and saw all the gilded French Rococo and Baroque furniture. Nouveau is positively spartan by comparison. Such a lovely sense of motion to it, though.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-39612017928010037722017-06-06T00:10:21.369-06:002017-06-06T00:10:21.369-06:00That fabric is superb, such vibrant colours.
